Design Year Book

Artist Cecilia Paredes experiments with her own body in her recent project titled 'Landscapes' where she blend into the background wallpaper. The collection shows parts of her body - mainly her back and her hands - painted in the same design as the wallpaper she is standing infront of. With the help of her assistants, she wrap, cover or paint her body with the same pattern of the material and "re-present" herself as part of the landscape. Working just like camouflage, the effect makes it hard to distinguish Ms Paredes from the wallpaper. Her hair is often the only thing that makes her form visible.
